This is a Notice of Consensus, printed on lime green paper, for the 
following rule, which shall now be added to the ruleset:

----------
The Navigator II

If at any point a rule exists whose name ends with 'The Navigator', the 
following two changes shall be made to the rules, overriding Rule 2, 
Mutability of the Rules:

1) The rule in question shall be altered to read as follows:

"The duty of the Navigator shall be to make the contents of the List of 
Locations available to all players upon request."

2) The rule 'The Navigator II' shall be deleted from the ruleset.

This is a Notice of Consensus, printed on electric blue paper, for the 
following rule, which shall now be added to the ruleset:

----------
Casting Adrift

If a player has not selected an initial location on the Board within three 
days of the point at which that player could first have done so, any other 
player may declare that player to be 'cast adrift' at any non-island 
location on the board, which becomes the adrift player's new location.

Rather than the starting situation specified in 'This is the world as we 
know it, and I feel fine' and 'There be pirates in this game, Yarrrrr!', 
the adrift player's location shall *not* be an island, and their ship shall 
be a 'small plank of wood'. ----------

This is a Notice of Consensus, printed on shiny silver paper, for the 
following rule, which shall now be added to the ruleset:

----------
Sanity Check

If the perception of the state of the game which is commonly held by all 
players is called into question by something which happened at least two 
weeks previously, the previous perception shall be held to be correct, even 
if it later shown to have been invalid.
